			==Description==
			In Percussion Pedagogy, author [[Michael Udow]] offers a practical guide for students interested in teaching percussion as well as improving their technique. Udow first introduces the bouncing ball system, a technical analogy that teaches students to resist the effects of inertia. Throughout the book, the bouncing ball analogy develops into a core performance principle based on integrated motions resulting in refined tone quality and meaningful musicianship. The book applies this principle to several instruments including [[snare drum]], [[timpani]], [[marimba]], [[vibraphone]], multiple-percussion, [[tambourine]] and [[triangle]], [[bass drum]], [[cymbals]], [[tam-tams]], and a variety of Western concert and world percussion repertoire. In particular, [[Michael Udow]] addresses the importance of coupling stroke types with stickings to set the foundation for precise rhythmic playing and expressive musicality. Chapters also focus on integrated rhythms, breath, and pulsed rhythms, anatomy and physiological health, psychological health, purposeful listening, and the importance of singing when practising. Offering solutions to common performance problems, the book's many examples serve as a paradigm for future problem solving. A comprehensive companion website complements [[Michael Udow]]'s teachings with a wealth of video tutorials and listening examples.

	"This book is the percussionist equivalent of a music theory textbook. The first eleven chapters are focusing on the very specific attributes that a percussionist needs to focus on from something as small as wrist angle to size of hands best suited to playing the instruments in the percussion section. It starts with explain the different stroke types, grips, phrasing, listening, sticking, counting, embellishments, and more. In each chapter giving very clear and concise information about all the different things to focus on from start to finish. This is not however a book I would recommend for younger students, it is more focused on a college, or professional level of advancement. Learning how to focus on what oneself or a student is doing that could be changed to work better and produce a better sound while also putting less strain on the students’ wrists and arms. This book also lists in the chapters from twelve and on the other instruments in the percussion sections and the very specific ways. Going over sound and sound quality production and quality along with playing styles and information to make the best sound on the instruments. This book focuses on more of a meat and potato’s approach to instrument care and maintenance. But will give you the best and longest explanations of the science and physical approach to playing the instruments and the best way to conduct how to learn to play each instrument and focusing on the key elements of percussion playing. I gave this book a rating of four stars, because its consistency, information and explanations were very informed, detailed, and well worded to give the best possible results in being able to correct and work with students to have them playing their best." - Thomas Scott		"This book is the percussionist equivalent of a music theory textbook.
